An Act To Promote Moose Hunting
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §11154, sub-§7,  as enacted by PL 2003, c. 414, Pt. A, §2 and affected by c. 614, §9, is amended to read:
 
7. Subpermittees.   An applicant for a moose permit may indicate on the application filed pursuant to subsection 6 the name of a subpermittee-designate and the name of an alternate subpermittee-designate. If the applicant is issued a moose permit under subsection 9, the subpermittee-designate becomes a subpermittee and the permittee may authorize the subpermittee to participate in the moose hunt with the permittee. The permittee may authorize the alternate subpermittee-designate to participate in the hunt in place of the subpermittee-designate if the permittee notifies the department of the authorization at least 5 business days prior to the first day of the moose season, in which case the alternate subpermittee-designate becomes the subpermittee. With the permission of the permittee, a subpermittee may hunt alone without the presence of the permittee. The permittee may choose not to authorize a subpermittee to participate in the hunt.
 
SUMMARY
This bill allows a person who holds a valid moose permit to give that person's subpermittee permission to hunt a moose alone without the presence of that person.
